The HTCC Service Programs Committee along with Bal Sabha youth are undertaking the annual service project Sharing the Warmth to help out fellow Columbians by arranging for donation of winter clothing and related accessories. We will donate part of the adult and youth items to Public Schools of Columbia, MO, and the other adult, youth and children’s items Refugee Services of Columbia, MO. These organizations serve the Columbia community very well.
The youth team plans to collect, sort, clean and donate winter jackets, gloves, caps, winter shoes, socks, and blankets from the Mandir community and their friends as a part of Sharing the Warmth project. Most of us we are sure have one or more of these items in our closets – that are not currently being used and are in good condition for donation. On behalf of our Service Programs committee, we would request you to go through your closets and identify items in good condition that could be donated. The team will accept all sizes (adult and children’s sizes). In the next few days you will receive calls from one or more of our youth to check with you if you could help us out with donations for this project. The youth along with other adult helpers will be available at the Mandir on Saturday, November 14 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Please help us if you can.
On a very limited basis, we may also be able to pick up the items from your home (service intended primarily for the elderly). In case you would like us pick up your donation, please send a return mail to this address with details (items for donation, a contact telephone number and convenient times for pick-up – please provide 2-3 times between now and November 18).
